Murdoch ranted about how Google is the world's piracy leader ("pure thievery") and how Obama has been captured by Silicon Valley "paymasters."

Naturally, some tech folks responded by educating the old school media mogul about the Internet. A Googler even sent Murdoch links to show him how to remove infringing links from search.

Derek Slater, a policy manager at Google, informed the billionaire about the powers he already has under the law to enforce his copyrights. He wrote that all Murdoch has to do is "google copyright removal." Slater also tweeted:

@rupertmurdoch we've also innovated in tools that make it easier for rightsholders to submit DMCA takedowns: googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2011/09/making…— Derek Slater (@derekslater) January 15, 2012

so cool to see @rupertmurdoch crowdsourcing how he can enforce his copyrights better using Twitter, a DMCA safe harbor dependent platform. — Derek Slater (@derekslater) January 15, 2012
